What a Great Week!

Dear Parents and Students,

We have had a great week!  It was Pottery Day on Wednesday and we all made beautiful artifacts from clay.  It was a lot of fun.  Here is a glimpse of the fun we had:

Parents, thank you for coming to meet with me this week.  It was great seeing you all.  I appreciate the time you took in your busy schedules.  It is always lovely to meet with you.

On Wednesday, April 25^th, is our Science Fair.  Students, bring your display boards to school on Monday and Tuesday.  Then we as a class can practice our presentations with each other and this way make everyone feel more confident and relaxed.

May 1^st is the date of our Field Trip.  We will be going to Green World.  The third graders and I took a peek this week at Green World’s website and we are already very excited.  I am looking forward to it!

IOWA tests are scheduled for the week of May 7^th – 11^th.  During that week students will not get any homework assignments.  Students, I want you all to make sure you get a good night’s rest every night and also eat a good breakfast.  Remember to pack a healthy snack for every day as well.  Parents, a letter will be sent home to explain IOWA tests and the whole procedure.
